Sex and the Single Girl
Author: Helen Gurley Brown
"Surprisingly, the book that truly celebrates the single woman was written four decades ago. Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the Single Girl, (first) published in 1962, "torpedoes one of the most absurd (if universal) myths of our time: that every girl must be married." -New York Times, 10/12/02 A nice single woman has no sex life?

This is a classic I have always read about and was surprised to see it for sale in the "bargain" section at Barnes and Nobel one day. It's a fun read because it shows the reader just how much times have changed...and stayed the same. I'm always interested anything that is related to women's studies, and I believe that is one of the first depictions of a "modern" woman after the feminist movement kicked off. I loved comparing Helen Gurley Brown's writing and personality with that of Kate White, the current editor of Cosmopolitan.

This book, published in 1962, explored single womens' sexuality and was considered quite shocking in its day! This book is still a lot of fun to read-almost 45 years after it was published.
